Autonomous security agents on a live knowledge graph of your code, cloud, and vendors. Tolmo finds vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and threats, then ships the fix. Backed by Accel and Y Combinator.
About the role
As our first Solutions Engineer, you're the technical heart of every customer conversation: you prove, hands-on, that Tolmo does what we say. You'll partner with founders and sales to turn skeptical security and engineering leaders into believers, and feed what you learn in the field directly back into the product. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- You own technical conversations end to end with customers: running discovery, delivering a tailored demo, and driving a proof-of-value to a technical win
- You translate deep technical detail into clear business value for engineers and executives alike
- You're hands-on: comfortable across cloud (AWS, GCP, or Azure), CI/CD, code, and the terminal, and you pick up unfamiliar stacks quickly
- You build with AI coding agents daily (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) to prototype demos, integrations, and proof-of-value environments fast
- You think like an attacker: you understand how real systems break and chain together, not just how they're built
- You own ambiguity: energized by defining how something works, not just executing a process
More about this role
Tolmo is cybersecurity for the age of AI. Coding agents now ship software faster than any human team can review or secure it; 100+ pull requests per engineer per week is no longer an outlier, and attackers are using the same agents to find and exploit weaknesses in days, not months. The old playbook of quarterly pentests and endless alert queues breaks at this speed.
We're building a new security playbook. Tolmo runs a fleet of AI security agents that reason over a live graph of your entire production system (code, CI, cloud, and telemetry) and continuously attack a faithful copy of it like a real adversary. Every finding arrives validated, with its blast radius and a remediation plan that lands in your workflow, ready for a coding agent to fix. Hours to integrate, days to your first validated finding.
We've done this before: Tolmo's founders built Sqreen (acquired by Datadog) and led security products that thousands of organizations trusted. We're backed by Accel and Y Combinator and just getting started.
